They should be re-naming it Rap Band now because the D-O-double-dizzle is about to enter the world of “Rock Band.” The best selling game which is a partnership between MTV and Harmonix will feature select hits from Snoop’s catalog.

According to a press release by MTV, as part of the multi-platform music deal that Snoop just signed, not only will MTV market and distribute his next album, but Snoop will be the first hip-hop artist to have a multi-song deal with Rock Band as well. This is great news as I can’t wait to rap “Ain’t No Fun” while my 5 year old cousin sings Nate Dogg chorus. Family fun for everyone!
